Can you elaborate on your specific use case?
I’m only asking this to maybe improve my experience, because I only have three vaults: Personal, Work and Family (shared).
I see no need (for me, of course) to have more than 3 or maybe 4 vaults.
Well, besides that I share passwords with already 6 people for which you need a vault. I work for many organisations and I want to keep that organized, so I can remove the credentials and find an overview of them easily when needed.
Also, I prefer to organize my credentials in folders like banking, insurance, newsletters, entertainment, gaming, temporary stuff, shopping to name a few.
As might you understand, I would also prefer to have structured vaults with subfolders, essentially.
Due to the nature of my work, I probably have way more credentials than any “normal” user. Just keeping them in one vault lacks any overview, which complicates compliance and also good habits of removing accounts you do not need any more.
To give you some idea, in Bitwarden I have over 2500 login items stored. (yes I want to move manually to proton pass, I am crazy ikr) but sorting needs to happen. In Bitwarden I lost track of it ini recent year slightly because the UI is a pain.

I’m not the person to whom you responded, but after having just checked my Bitwarden vault because of your reply, I notice that I have 27 folders.
Some of these folders were intended for short-term categorization. For example, I have a “Reused” and “Exposed” folder for logins with non-unique passwords and logins with passwords exposed in known data breaches, respectively. (I checked this using Bitwarden’s vault health reports for premium users.) These folders just stuck because, after having gone through these logins, I couldn’t change the credentials for some of them.
Same here.
This is what frustrates me about the browser extension. On the desktop app, you can easily organize folders using the left sidebar. Meanwhile, you can’t manage folders in the “Vault” tab of the extension – the most intuitive location for that, I would imagine. I have to navigate to Settings > Folders to make any changes to them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain. It does make perfect sense now. We all have different needs indeed.
